It’s a bit vague but it’s better than the endless forum rumours. HTC PR have officially said that all current handsets (Wildfire/Legend/Desire) will be getting Froyo/Android 2.2 before Christmas. They also drop the suggestion that Gingerbread will be available around January from Google. The delay for Froyo shouldn’t be as long as the infamous delay […]

Techcrunch have a video of the new push API for Froyo in action. Specifically, pushing webpages and Google Maps from the desktop browser (Chrome)to the phone’s browser and Maps app. All you need to install is a Chrome extension and an Android app. Can’t wait to try this out.

The rumours have begun, a HTC support supervisor let slip that the release date for Android 2.2 on The HTC Desire will be June 23rd. Even if this is to be trusted (and there is lots of hot air on XDA Developers) expect this date to get pushed back and back and back, just like […]

There are already reports of Android 2.2 being pushed out to Nexus Ones over the air and now Google has apparently that a slow roll out over weeks has begun. Almost makes me wish I’d got an N1 over the Desire (almost). I can only hope HTC get an OTA release out sooner rather than […]
